Let's start by putting our cards on the table — Samsung's Galaxy S flagships have never really tickled my fancy. I can appreciate that past models have been high-quality phones, usually among the best Android phones out there. And my reviews of previous flagships have reflected that Galaxy S phones deliver on the key features that people look for in phones. But they've never really stirred my passions the way other phones have.
Yes, I'm an iPhone guy, having used Apple phones as my personal device for the past 16 years. But I can recognize a great Android phone, too, whether it's the great photos that Google's Pixel phones produce or the chances that OnePlus takes with its flagship. Heck, the Pixel 7a was my favorite phone to come out last year. But Galaxy S models? I could acknowledge their strengths without feeling particularly enthusiastic about them when people ask me which phones I recommend.
